UN SDG Action Awards

The UN SDG Action Awards will recognize individuals,
civil society organizations, subnational governments, foundations,
networks, or private sector leaders from across the globe for the most innovative, impactful and transformative initiatives building a global movement of action for the SDGs.

The UN SDG Action Awards are organized by
the UN SDG Action Campaign, a special inter-agency initiative of the UN
Secretary General mandated to scale up, broaden and sustain the global
movement of action for the SDGs.

To
meet the SDGs we need everyone to take action. We are calling for the
top mobilizers, storytellers, campaigners, connectors, visualizers,
includers and creatives across the world who are making this happen!

Every
year, the UN SDG Action Awards recognize individuals, civil society
organizations, subnational governments, foundations, networks, private
sector leaders who are advancing the global movement for the Sustainable
Development Goals in the most transformative, impactful and innovative
way.

Winners are presented at a breathtaking Awards Ceremony on
the first night of the Global Festival of Action for Sustainable
Development and their initiatives and projects highlighted throughout
the year as an inspiration and role model to the growing global
community of SDG leaders, decision-makers and influencers.

Everyone is encouraged to apply.
Projects led by UN entities and national governments will be eligible
for honourable mentions only. However if a government or UN project is
co-organized with non-governmental partners, the partners are encouraged
to apply on behalf of the project.

Active
participants in UN SDG Action Campaign programmes such as MYWorld, the
Global Day to Act for SDGs are strongly encouraged to apply.
